Why not Andy Reid?

Alright, I've been pretty busy lately so I haven't been able to read the forum like I used to. But from what I can tell most of you are up Chip Kelly's ass. The last thing I want is Chud's clone running this team. He'd overuse Cam's athletic ability and get him hurt. We need someone with experience... we don't have the time to experiment with a college coach, which rarely works. Andy Reid is an extremely good coach, one of the best of his era. But much like John Fox, sometimes coaches just need a change of scenery. Reid has only had 3 losing seasons in 14 years of coaching. Compare that to our franchise, whose never had back to back winning seasons. And to make his resume even better, all 14 of his years have been with a mobile quarterback. So I don't know what you guys are thinking but I'm on the Andy Reid bandwagon.

Kelly getting cam hurt when the other choice is Reid's when mike Vick and Mcnabb were rarely healthy the whole season? I'd rather have Kelly he's much smarter then chud and will do much better then him.

I want someone who will at least attempt to use the running game. Andy Reid will not....other than that if live the hire.

Kelly is not Chuds clone. He has basically adapted every offense he's run to the competition and available talent. He'd do te same here and don't think he'd overuse Cam.

Agree in that Chud's problem isn't necessarily that he runs a bunch of "college" plays, it's that he is sometimes a bad judge of when to use them and how often to use them. He also just does some boneheaded things that are hard to figure out. A good example is his use of the wildcat on occasion, when every single time it is a DWill run. You might as well have DWill come on to the field carrying a sign saying "we're going to run the ball now, so go ahead and stack the box".

As far as Reid, I think the guy is suffering a bit of burn out and probably needs to take a year off.

Exactly. So saying Kelly is just a chud clone is ridiculous and misinformed

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
